The John Lewis advert is basically one big plug for Elton John (whose concert tickets go on sale today too).
They don’t even sell pianos!

My main takeaway from the #EltonJohnLewis ad is that considering how obsessive he got over the piano, it's really lucky they didn't buy him a toy gun for Xmas.

Well I don’t know about you, but to me, nothing says Christmas like the story of a multi millionaire pop star and the humongous present that you’d have to give your toddler to mirror it. I wonder what happened to the kids who got tangerines. #eltonjohnlewis pic.twitter.com/39v9nc5OtD

Elton John is the spirit of Christmas Day, a time when petulant little people overstimulated on white powder eat too much and throw tantrums because they haven’t been given a speedboat.

A lot of people are knocking the new John Lewis Christmas advert featuring Elton John. Idiots. The foresight needed to pick out a young lad and film him at various times over the next 60 years, knowing he’d become a rock star, is just amazing.#johnlewischristmasadvert

You may not be able to buy a piano from John Lewis, but they have 12 Elton Johns in stock #johnlewischristmasadvert pic.twitter.com/wsFP5Wl2QQ
